Details
The government is committed to getting Britain building again. This paper forms part of a series of working papers on different aspects of planning reform, designed to inform further policy development in collaboration with the wider sector.
The paper proposes a new approach which uses funding from development to deliver environmental improvements, and moves more responsibility for these improvements onto the state rather than developers. The aim of this approach is to free up and accelerate development while ensuring better environmental outcomes.
